PUDOR PUBERTY
Early Puberty
Telarche or Thelarche and Pubarche - Menarche
Boob Bobo Bubonic
This is a companion illustrated overview to those concerned with BELLY and ABDOMEN. One reason is that the lower end of the abdomen is called PUBIS, an idea that also relates to PUBERTY and PUDOR
Puberal blooming and blushing - with and without a blouse.
A core phenomenon regarding "PUBERTY" is not simply the development of "this or that" , it is a change of "mind" - when a child manifests sexual "modesty" or PUDOR, it can be said that PUBARCHE (age of onset of Puberty) arrived. Under the current exagerated "materialistic" ideology, including in Medicine, more "objective" definitions are favored. "TELARCHE" (or thelarche from Greek thelos for nipple) is the age of onset of the development of nipples and breast buds. "MENARCHE" is the age of onset of menses or menstruations. Male Pubarche is harder to define (onset of growth of pubic and "sexual" hair along with growthof the penis and testicles). There is also objective evidence that our "materialistic era" allowed the extensive mindless pollution of the environment, including by "endocrine disruptors". There are no objections to observations that girls enter Telarche at earlier and earlier ages. Some assert that the age of Menarche is less "disrupted". There also is a vigorous debate about observations of decreasing sperm production by males of a variety of human and non-human species. In any case, "rupturing" the tightly regulated process of Pubarche is a bad omen for the human animal.
PUBERTY illuminates the cardinal role of ideas associated with PUBIS or PUBIC region - the area of the distal endpoint of the abdominal midline. The MONS VENERIS or MONS PUBIS is a mount like elevation over the pubic cartilage that joins the PUBIC RAMI (limbs) of the iliac or hip bones of each side. Mons Veneris develops with the advent of puberty when adipose (fatty) tissue develops in the area. During pregnancy, the usual elevation of estrogens softens the fibrous pubic ligatures to ease the impending delivery.

Away from the midline, the distal or lower abdominal wall or HYPOGASTRIUM ends in the GROINS also referred to as CRURAL or INGUINAL or BUBO regions. These terms convey ideas about a GROUND or CROSSING between the abdomen and thigh. The axilla and GROIN have many lymphatic glands which when infected, can swell like bubos. Such swellings or "BUBO" are to be taken seriously as illustrated by instances of the BUBONIC plague which persists in many areas of the world.

PUBARCHE is the age of the onset of PUBERTY and PUDOR which coincide with the appearance of PUBIC hair. PUBERTAS, in Latin, describes the profound developments that transform a child into an adult, a process of rapid physical, emotional and mental growth referred to as ADOLESCENCE - some might say in jest that the appearance of "boobs" or feminine breasts is concurrent with the appearance of BOOBY behavior.
Salome veiled her pubis, barely ... her wicked... intemperate whim ...decapitation.
PUBARCHE or ADOLESCENCE, starts at about the age of 10 and lasts for about 9 years, a period when sexual physical and psychological traits emerge. Males become larger, more muscular and hirsute. Women develop breasts, larger PELVIC cavities, broader hips and thighs. Pubarche may be precocious or delayed and in either case, such may signal serious maldevelopment. There is strong evidence that puberty is experienced by increasingly younger "child-girls". One cause may be the release of "endocrine disruptors" by a variety of industries. This worrisome phenomenon is reviewed separately.
Limbs lengthen during adolescence - boys become aggressive and muscular - girls develop softer body outlines and are more prone to show greater pudor.
Until adolescence, children lack secondary sexual traits. When a child with "ambiguous genitalia" EMERGES, an EMERGENCY arises. To meet social expectations, it is wise to declare that the labor and delivery are "delayed" to gain time to help the family to deal with such a shocking event. Another strategy is to choose a name for a child that is gender neutral (for example Jerry).
Hermaphrodites - Often an extra X chromosomes can diminish the development of masculine and enhance the development of feminine traits.
Abnormal sexual development raises such complex questions that this topic is treated separatel. However, note that "sexual infantilism" and pseudo-hermaphroditism are relatively common. The prefix "pseudo" underscores that only HERMES and APHRODITE could engender a perfect dual male-female or HERMAPHRODITE. Some humans who suffer from "pseudo" hermaphroditism have gonads with ovary and testicle like tissues and sexual characters of both genders. Anomalies of sex chromosomes (X and Y) are relatively common and result in syndromes such as Klinefelter and Turner. It is incumbent upon neonatologists and pediatricians to treat the birth of a child with abnormal genetalia as an emergency.
Male with feminine buttocks and breasts or gynecomastia - perhaps an instance of Klinefelter syndrome.
As underscored by ADOLECER, a Spanish word for "to be sore" or ill, ADOLESCENCE is a difficult period. Most YOUTH or JUVENILES struggle as childhood innocence is replaced by sensations of PUDOR or "sexual shame", sexual desires, LIBIDO and other confusing emotions. In short, JUNIORS struggle to forge their own PSYCHE.
The ancients also realized that YOUTH implies a condition of maximum VITAL VITALITY which prompted Romans to note -
"Libidinosa et Intemperans est Adoloescentia"
(Libidinous and intemperate is adolescence).
The ancients advised JUNIORS and JUVENILES to mind JOVE, their parents, family and state. Since those times, helping juniors with impulse control and to TEMPER their JOVIAL JOVIALITIES to prevent INTEMPERANCE has been the core curriculum of all civilized societies.
Impulse control methods are diverse
Ignoring parental advise and poor impulse control can be lethal.
True love is an antidote to juvenile intemperance as illustrated by CUPID and PSYCHE, a story of LOVE quenching LUST. Modern concepts underscore that one sign of a healthy mature psyche is the capacity to nurture another. EROS matured when he dared to visit hell to save his beloved PSYCHE.
Tender Psyche in the hands of loving Eros, a recipe against lust.
